What was surprising, though, was the immediacy with which I became gripped by what I was listening to and looking at.
My ignorance wasn’t totally surprising: as a mom in my mid-forties, I’m hardly positioned anywhere near the cutting edge of contemporary music. She traversed the placid landscape to explore the more rhythmic patterns of the ocean.įOR MORE ON ALICE BOMAN, VISIT HER WEBSITE.About three years ago, I came across a YouTube video of a band I hadn’t heard of before. It is as though Boman stepped forward, across this field and through the trees with Skisser / Remixed, as a hazy image of crashing waves fronts the remixed EP. The original Skisser cover depicts a costal field in soft focus with the ocean looming behind the trees on the horizon line. The remix further develops Boman’s original sound it does not entirely replace it.Īccordingly, Skisser / Remixed‘s album art reflects Boman’s progression. With NATTEN’s additions, “Waiting” retains its melancholic tone while simultaneously acquiring a stronger substance from analogue instruments, such as the trumpet, and synthesizers. “I love what NATTEN did-the beat and the horns and that bass. “I think I somehow become more aware and observant when listening to the remix,” Boman says. Here we are pleased to premiere Boman’s unison with Swedish kraut dance orchestra NATTEN for the remix of “Waiting.” Straying from trite DJs and already established remixers, Boman deliberately selected the younger artists with whom she collaborated. Skisser / Remixed will be replete with more complex sounds, featuring up-and-coming Swedish music artists. Later this fall, Boman will re-release her EP with each of the five songs remixed. It is a raw, unedited testimony of the power of the relationship between music and emotion. Boman recorded the song, as well as her entire debut EP Skisser, which means “sketches” in Swedish, at home. In her song “Waiting,” the Scandinavian artist’s voice is accompanied only by her melancholic piano playing. Are you coming back? Are you coming back? I’m waiting,” sings Alice Boman in her fragile and hypnotizing voice.
